But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Jan 22, 2020With Far Sector #3 ending on a moment, that promises the next issue will be a must-read for fans I cannot wait for that issue to drop. I had thoroughly enjoyed this budding series through the first two issues. Now, however, issue four will definitely be one of my most anticipated drops of next month. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Morgan Hampton
Jan 23, 2020Far Sector #3 goes a long way in showing us that Jo Mullein is experienced with the types of inequality prevalent on The City Enduring because of her own experience with it on Earth as a black woman. Having that type of history inform the will and decision making of a Green Lantern is the type of stuff that I crave. Give me more! Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Jan 22, 2020Jamal Campbell's art is breathtaking. Not only do the characters look remarkable on every page, but the art and colors are dynamic throughout and filled with beautiful details.

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Jan 22, 2020Jo may be a rookie, but that does not suggest that she is no stranger to the kind of job she has been requested to deal with. Far Sector #3 sweeps you off your feet because this creative team pulled no punches creating a real argument for having the freedom to express emotions, versus feeling nothing for your own safety. Murder mystery are great, but you have to love the way this story has suddenly evolved into something much more engaging. Read Full Review

Surely, this 'Green Lantern' story, is one of the best that's been written. If you haven't started reading this series yet, you need to rethink your life choices. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jan 22, 2020This is how you flesh out a character, and any quibbles I may have had about her playing second fiddle to the fascinating worldbuilding have been assuaged. The brutal ending of the issue takes the story to a new level and sets up a major conflict that will likely define the rest of the year-long adventure. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Jan 25, 2020The different aliens and alien factions are still a little tough to keep track of, especially since the writer keeps throwing random pre-existing relationships at us, but this is still a very enjoyable police procedural Green Lantern comic! Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Jan 29, 2020Writer N.K. Jemisin explores the idea of what role a Green Lantern should play when a harsh government turns on its more rebellious element. Is a Green Lantern a protector of the peace? Or a guardian of the innocent? And what happens when those two ideals come into conflict? Worth a look. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Marcus Freeman
Jan 24, 2020Another fast paced issue has concluded in the Far Sector saga. Green Lantern Mullein continues to learn new things about City Enduring's history and how its inhabitants are coping with its more tragic events. Mullein is also constantly reminded that while City Enduring is far different from Earth, it is also shares some scary similarities. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill
Jan 22, 2020This talented duo is starting to gel together and craft a comic experience of cosmic proportions. The main "ideas" of the story seem to be getting clearer. Jo is still on her way to becoming a Lantern that can bring balance to the galaxy, but the situation she's found herself in may drive her closer to learning what she's made of. This was an entertaining issue that balanced its themes with its narrative and the excellent art is similarly finding its footing. It's a step in the right direction and an enjoyable read.

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Jan 22, 2020Far Sector #3 is another effective addition to Jo Mullein's story. There's just a hint that it's moving a tad too slowly with a bit of confusion over the alien places and names. However, there are deeper themes that Jemisin is bringing. They not only expand the scope of the tale, but provides a real world element to the unfamiliar outer space world that is this books milieu.

There are some flaws and inconsistencies, but the story is really good and man... that art is out of this world. Especially love the teal approach to the colouring.

There are definitely some plot inconsistencies for sure but Far Sector was all around a great read, crazy last page

Far Sector takes a step towards more familiar superhero stories here, but also declares pretty emphatically that it will be touching on social issues in the manner of much of the best sci-fi. This issue gets us a little closer to understanding Far Sector's alien world, and Jo's place in it, but not without raising some new questions. Parts feel a little rushed this time around, in contrast to the measured, noir pacing of the previous issues, and some of the art is a bit hard to parse. However, this book was clearing such a high bar already that these are hardly deal breakers. I'll definitely be back for issue 4.

I feel like I am going insane when I read this comic. They all constantly express emotions, all of them, all the time. Both sides of this argument. The allegory is a little clumsy. Art's still beautiful.

No, this is stupid, you guys. First, the Twitter handles and the fanfiction pandering is insignificant, but still really dumb. Second, why the hell would the emotionless people start a counter-protest to the emotional ones? These "emotionless motherfuckers" as our heroine eloquently puts it are not emotionless. Now, either that's the big twist at the end of this series, or the writer and artist don't understand what emotionless means. Either way, making this the main crux of your story is really dumb. Because, if it's not a twist, you're just a shitty writer. If it is a twist, it's so obvious that the reader never believes in the lie you've crafted to create said twist. This is not good. Don't @ me, as the kids and N.K. "hip" Jemisin would more

This book might have some value if you were reading it in the lavatory and you found yourself short of toilet paper. Other than that it's pretty much useless, save your money.
